Polish journalists found possible links between Pin-Up and the Russian gambling business
🔹TVP Info conducted an investigation into the activities of the online poker platform GGPoker, in particular regarding evasion of blocks in Poland, recruitment of local players, and possible links between illegal gambling and Russia.
🔹Journalists examined the activities of a Russian Federation citizen whom Ukrainian law enforcement accuses of organizing gambling without a license and money laundering. The piece also mentions affiliate networks through which users can be redirected to gambling resources and their owners receive commissions for new clients.
🔹A separate episode concerns Pin-Up. Representatives of the Polish journalists attended an affiliate conference in Warsaw, where company representatives were present.
🔹Co-founder of the Ukrainian initiative Don’t Fund Russian Army, Oleksii Kuprienko, stated that the Ukrainian investigation into persons associated with Pin-Up covered, among other things, operations in temporarily occupied territories. According to him, Ukrainian services confiscated 2,6 billion UAH.
🔹TVP also showed Pin-Up’s Warsaw office, business contacts, and documents bearing the company logo. At the same time, Pin-Up itself denied to the journalists any connection with the Ukrainian company Pin-Up.
🔹DFRA links the investigation to Ivan Bryksin, whose name, according to the initiative, appears in Ukrainian criminal proceedings. In particular, it refers to a SEB proceeding regarding the activities of GGPoker/PokerOK, registered in December 2025.
🔹Separately, the piece mentions Dmytro Punin, who is the de facto owner of Pin-Up. He is under sanctions and is attempting through Ukrainian courts to have publications about his possible ties to Pin-Up and Russian business removed.
